As humanoid robots move from labs into homes, stores, and warehouses, a simple question is gaining urgency: who teaches them ...

The Columbia University researchers achieved the feat by allowing their robot, EMO, to study itself in a mirror. It learned ...

The researchers detailed their findings in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. "Like humans learning to dance by ...

Firms are working to make the motors that drive robots more efficient and cheaper.

This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the internal mass rotates fast enough to lift it off the ground. Unlike spring-based ...

The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, that would look like holding a ball in your palm while simultaneously ...

A robot observes its reflection in a mirror, learning its own morphology and kinematics for autonomous self-simulation. The process highlights the intersection of vision-based learning and robotics, ...
